Shift by Hugh Howey

Shift by Hugh Howey

books, freeding
In a future less than fifty years away, the world is still as we know it. Time continues to tick by. The truth is that it is ticking away.

A powerful few know what lies ahead.

They are setting us on a path from which we can never return.

A path that will lead to destruction; that will take us below ground.

The history of the silo is about to be written.

Our future is about to begin.


Hey! Here's my review.

Shift is the second book in the Silo series but is written more like a prequel. It explains what happened in the lead up to the events in Wool, but I would still suggest reading Wool first. There is lots of timeline flicking between when the silos were being built, to years in the future when they were being lived in. It started off a bit slower and more political than Wool, but the pace picks up as the book progresses.
